ROTJ Dogfight Question
Posted: 2005-03-31 02:35am
Sorry if this has been done before...
During the first dogfight scene in ROTJ (following the collision of the Rebel and Imp fighter forces), was there a bit of a blooper?
The part where Wedge says "Red 3, Red 2, pull in", and then Red 3 or Red 2 (apparently an A-Wing) says "Got him" but you can see a TIE/In closing in from behind his cockpit and then the next scene the A-Wing is clobbered by a TIE/In (just above the wing of a Mon Cal cruiser) which is rapidly in turn horsed by a Y-Wing. Then what looks like the same pilot (Red 3 or Red 2) says "Three of them coming in, 20 degrees" (to which Wedge replies "Cut to the left, I'll take the leader."). [Apologies if the quotes and recollections are a tad off, I'm going by memory here]
Basically, is the A-Wing pilot the same in both cases? In fact the A-Wing pilot looks like whathisname who kamikazied the Executor.
Incidentally, the A-Wing gubbed by the TIE/In which was then destroyed by the Y-Wing reminded me of a WWII scenario where a FW190 shoots down a Spitfire only to be done by say a Beaufighter.
BTW, what was Grey Leader driving?
